I travers'd London in my search,
Careering to and fro,
From Barnsbury to Brixton Church.
From Notting Hill to Bow.
"There's no such word as fail," said I:
"I 'll seek my treasure still
From Brixton Church to Barnsbury,
From Bow to Notting Hill!"
He went not by the penny-boat,
The omnibus, or train;
